It unfortunately appears to be time to start considering whether this blog should be run by some form of committee, where each new post has to be approved by a majority vote.

This particular post clearly demonstrates the Vole's increasing mental fragility, and his inability to safely manage a top flight blog such as 'The Plashing Vole'.

I shall henceforth start legal proceedings to have the Vole declared 'unfit to blog', and will be looking to assemble a team to act as caretaker managers of 'The Plashing Vole', whilst the Vole convalesces in a spa resort and/or a full time replacement is sought.

Anyone wishing to be considered for such a management position should consult the national newspapers next week, where a formal announcement and advertisement will be made. Lo-fi enthusiasts need not apply.
